I wouldn't be surprised if Apple exits the EU marketplace at some point. They are already delaying Apple Intelligence and iPhone mirroring in Europe. As I understand things, the DMA doesn't undercut intellectual property rights under EU law, so th…

Great article! I turned 50 last September and remember the Mac hitting the scene in 1984. There was a local Dillard's department store that had an area where they sold computers and I think some higher end AV equipment. I used to go there and mar…

I think Apple had to wait until the administrative process ended (yesterday) and then that opened them up to going back to Court to put a stay on the ban. It seems like in the prior case that ended in a mistrial, most of the jurors were going to si…

Very very cool. This solidifies my reasoning to never buy (or rent if I can help it) a car without CarPlay support. I wonder if Apple is letting, or going to let, automakers have a CarPlay OS (or maybe part of it) to run on their automotive comput…

I was one who for years looked at Sculley with derision, but after seeing an interview or two (this was a decade or so back), that changed. Yes, he was not Steve, but Sculley didn't harbor any ill will with Steve and I think did try pretty hard to …

That's great Apple, but come out with an updated Apple Silicon iMac. One in 24 or 27 (or larger) would be nice thanks!

slow n easy said: WhatWhatWhat said: Do customers really buy a car just for CarPlay support? That's backwards! Buy a car because the car is good, then figure out the audio system later. There are so many excellent aftermarket CarPlay s…

I have been a pretty loyal GM customer with three Equinoxes owned (incl. one now). First one was in an accident, but the other two I've had for over 5 years each with no issues. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion that I'd get an Equinox EV f…

This is a total dealbreaker for me. I’ve had three Equinoxes and they’ve all been pretty reliable. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion in my mind that I’d get the EV Equinox but if CarPlay isn’t available, forget it. Way to alienate your custom…

Truly one of the best managed companies on the planet. I remember the dark days in the 90s when it was far from certain if they'd make it. Bravo!

I think a souped-up Mini would be a very smart move for Apple. For those who want a small and powerful computer and also for those who are running server farms.

Irritatingly, my car cruise control sometimes won't set to 70 mph...it'll lock in 69 or 71, so I think there might be some algorithm silliness in some of our modern apps, whether phone, car or whatever...

There is absolutely no way Apple is going to skate past the myriad of anti-trust investigations and changes in law around the world with regards to their App Store. They better have a plan-B (i.e. more than saying security this, privacy that) or th…

Here's my thought...Apple is not going to win all of these cases around the world and in some locales they are going to likely have to allow side-loaded apps and/or payments outside the App Store framework. It seems to me that they have this somewh…

To me this isn't necessarily a bad thing given there are only a few Macs with Apple Silicon right now. As more Mac models come online (I'm eyeing the iMac), I'm sure it will happen. Meantime Rosetta 2 is a capable translator.

I think something to keep in mind here is that, although Apple is the tip of the spear on this, the whole issue of exclusive access to a given ecosystem is what's at stake, especially when a mandatory fee arrangement is in place. GooglePlay for And…

I skimmed the posts here but didn’t see anything here, but Microsoft already has a ARM port of Windows, and perhaps in addition to the Surface Pro there might be other Windows machines that start showing up with arm processors rather than x86. I wo…

I like Dark Mode when reading a book at night or in low light...but that Night Shift is a bit weird for me as well.

I love my HomeKit enabled home with multiple devices which work pretty well. I do think this will be a good thing for future devices that aren't yet available now and agree that looking into another wireless connectivity protocol would be good (asi…

What a beast. Apple rolled out a good one!
